And all this at the hands of my own family, who today are supposedly worried about me,” he continued explaining.
In that conversation with the aforementioned media, which has not been broadcast, the actress reportedly said that she went to Texas to be baptized: “They say that, once you are freed by Jesus Christ, you are truly free, so six days ago I I told my husband that I was going to baptize with one of my favorite pastors, Pastor Robert Clancy.

I also saw it as an opportunity to escape my cage.” Chanel Maya went on to explain that “I will never allow myself to be silenced again, least of all my abusers. For 36 crushing years I have had to endure abhorrent abuse.”
But his story does not end there: “For decades, my family has been my spiritual, physical and emotional guardian, giving me zero authority over myself. I was not allowed to make any decisions in life in any way without their approval.

For their part, her relatives were the ones who previously reported her disappearance, alleging that the interpreter’s husband, Carlos Jiménez, “has not helped us in the search.” Chanel’s cousin Maya explained to the media Eyewitness News that caught his attention that the actress showed no signs of life: “She doesn’t spend more than 48 hours without talking to me or her mother.
